Troubleshooting Motor Symptoms
Each Smart Trac AC1 is programmed for your specific application. Because all 
faults are programmable, an Application Engineer has selected and programmed 
certain faults to be displayed as they occur. Some (Standard) faults are displayed 
by most typical systems. Reference tables in the appendices which list all faults 
by type of fault. 
Should your AC1 malfunction, diagnose the problem using the general 
information in this chapter. Pay special attention to the following safety 
precautions: 
WARNING
WARNING
Always disconnect, lock out and tag "out of service" incoming 
single-phase or three-phase power before test equipment is 
connected or removed. Failure to comply with this warning may 
result in personal injury or death. 
WARNING
WARNING
Oscilloscope chassis may be at voltages potentially hazardous to life 
if not properly grounded. Use only a dual channel, electrically 
isolated oscilloscope (i.e., Tektronix 222P, THS 700) in the 
differential mode, with X100 probes, to measure high voltage 
waveforms. Always connect oscilloscope chassis to earth ground. 
Failure to comply with this warning may result in personal injury or 
death. 
WARNING
WARNING
High Voltages may be present when equipment is open and 
energized. Do not work alone. Failure to comply with this warning 
may result in personal injury or death. 
CAUTION
CAUTION
Never disconnect or connect the wiring while the power is applied. 
Failure to comply with this warning may result in damage to 
equipment.. 
1. Check the red CHARGE light. When illuminated, it indicates that the
DC bus is running. If not lit, check the circuit breaker and input power 
circuitry. 
2. Check for rated incoming power to the drive (110 VAC, 240 VAC, 480
VAC or 600 VAC, depending on unit) across terminals L1(R), L2(S), 
L3(T). If not at rated voltage, check the circuit breaker and input power 
circuitry. 
3. Check for loose wiring or connections.
